On My Heels

I'm not scared of what's to come I know this spinning's almost done Been staring down a smoking gun for sometime Made it out alive somehow Use my hands now they're unbound Unravel ropes as they are found Oh unwind I would love to slow down and enjoy it But the world's on my heels I would never recover from the back of the pack The world's on my heels Holding out for rain Could really do without the drought soon Burnt at high noon There's been no easy way I'm holding out for rain I heard there's gonna be a monsoon For this late bloom I'm counting every day I've seen it take root and hold I've heard the jokes get gray and old My attention's bought and sold at fair price I'll live a life inside my means And fight the fear that I'm unseen Complain about losing steam and still try Holding out for rain Could really do without the drought soon Burnt at high noon There's been no easy way I'm holding out for rain I heard there's gonna be a monsoon For this late bloom I'm counting every day I would love to slow down and enjoy it But the world's on my heels I would never recover from the back of the pack The world's on my heels The steady roar of combustion A growing storm I can't outrun Sit in silence in the sun till I burn One day soon I'll long for this Nostalgic for the things I've missed While I was busy making lists Can I learn? Holding out for rain Could really do without the drought soon Burnt at high noon There's been no easy way I'm holding out for rain I heard there's gonna be a monsoon For this late bloom I'm counting every day I would love to slow down and enjoy it But the world's on my heels I would never recover from the back of the pack The world's on my heels
